COLORADO, USA — Colorado lawmakers are once again considering new legislation that would further increase and protect abortion access in Colorado.
Meanwhile, Colorado continues to see an influx of people traveling to this state for abortion services.
One Democrat-sponsored bill, SB188, would protect the patients seeking that care and the providers who treat them, from outside legal threats.
After extensive testimony from supporters and opposition, the bill passed Senate Committee 3-2, along party lines.
One of people who testified in favor of the bill was a woman who had traveled to Colorado

“Denied care?” Translation: denied murder of her unborn child for convenience.

#2...did you read the article. The situation was one where doctors told her that her life and the life of the healthy twin were jeopardized by the twin that was diagnosed with a trisomy and a growth on the head that THEY said made the child not viable.
Doctors did not give her all the information and scared her into thinking that the disabled twin was not worthy of life, so they said that twin was "non-viable" and since it would die anyway, why not kill it early so its not a burden to "society" They framed the existence of that child as life threatening for the other one and the mother...and they scared her.
Its not her fault.

If they wanted it to be news, the headline should have read "Texas woman travels to Colorado to murder her unborn child."

FTA: “The laws in Texas are so confusing, you don’t know who wants to be a vigilante," she said. “We didn’t know who was going to sense what we were doing and turn us in.”
The above is garbage. Some activist wrote this for the the little victim.

That's what you do when you want something that's not available near home. In the 60s, teens for 3 states around used to travel to NY to drink because NY had an 18 drinking age.

Be fair. This particular case exposed a flaw in the Texas Abortion Law. It allowed abortion to save the life of the mother, but not to save the life of a healthy unborn twin. Do pro-life people really want to sentence the healthy twin to death?

If the account is true then this on the doctors and not the State of Texas. In such extenuating extreme circumstances I am confident the State would have granted some type of medical waiver
As far as abortion in general, If I want to go snow skiing is it the State of Texas' responsibility to provide local mountains and snow so I won't be inconvenienced?

There is nothing stopping any woman in this country from slaughtering her unborn baby in an abortion. Nothing.
Maybe it is a little more inconvenient to kill her baby, because she may have to travel a few hundred miles to another state to have her innocent unborn baby torn limb from limb, or burned to death with saline, in the womb.
Personally, I have no problem with it being a little more inconvenient to practice murder and infanticide. But I have morals and a soul -- two things I seriously believe are missing in any woman who would do such a horrible thing to the baby growing inside of her that God has blessed her with!!!!!

Too many Colorado voters have been duped into disrespect for human life. -Very tragic, especially since America's Founder's established the USA upon the solid Foundation of Life, Liberty and Justice for ALL.

I am ashamed of my state for becoming an abortion on demand safe haven. Gov. Polis and his husband, who can't even have children naturally, are most proud.

#12, no, I don't want any baby to die. That is why I am pro-life!!!! But I certainly don't want any baby slaughtered in abortion in my home state of Texas!!!
My cousin was told that her unborn baby had a similar horrible condition that would mean it would die within hours of birth. Several "expert" specialists fully agreed with her obstetrician, and they all advised her to have an abortion as it was the more "humane" thing to do for her baby. But being a devout Catholic, she could not have an abortion, even though that meant possible future problems getting pregnant again, and having to bury this baby shortly after birth. Strangest thing, her baby was born totally healthy and is an amazing healthy 4-year-old today. And her mom gives thanks to God every day for having faith over fear!!!
There was nothing stopping this woman from going to another state to slaughter her "unhealthy" twin. And that was what she did. No armed guards that the airport or state border line there to put her in a "handmaids" outfit and force her to carry her twins to term. But every time I hear a story like this, I think of my cousin (and thousands of other similar stories of doctors being wrong), and I wonder if this woman will never know the joy of having healthy twins because she chose fear over faith...

That is what federalism is about. Texas said no, you can go to Colorado, maybe move there.

The Leftists corrupted the natural, historic, uniformly accepted meaning of "medically necessary" and now are whining because nobody knows for sure what it means because the meaning changes depending on the politics of the judge in the case. Wah.

# 5, thank you for the explanation as to why this woman needed an abortion. But I'm not surprised to see the number of people who don't care about her life. One track mind seems to fit.

This type of article irks me. By emphasizing the miniscule percentage of medically-necessary abortions, the pro-abortion lobby misleads the public about the true nature of the vast majority of abortions in this country.
